still broke; sometimes knitting

socks!

So this sock business is pretty fun. I turned the heel on the "class sock" last night and, I have to say, the feeling of accomplishment that goes along with a successful turn is out of all proportion to its actual difficulty. Here’s the mini-sock monster:

I’m really quite pleased with the whole process; no wonder people knit so many socks and enjoy it so much. I have to admit that this phenomenon of the many-socks always kind of baffled me. 38 pairs?! How could one knit so many socks? Now I get it …

And, even better, I’ve found a use for all of that Patons yarn I bought a while back. It’s not sock yarn, but it seems quite workable on #2 needles.

What is that behind the sock monster?Oh yes, it is another cup of coffee …

but just one. I even used the small pot to avoid possible multipile-cup mishaps. And I’m going to eat something. It really was just the comibination of empty stomach + 3 cups of coffee + heat + exams anxiety + LYS time-wasting that caused the problems. I’m sure of it.

You don’t want to know about the book. Trust me. It’s called Discourse Networks 1800 / 1900. That should be enough.
